Disclaimer: Do I have to say it? Cuz you should know it!
Ray and Ellen walk in laughing about something.
"Can I ask you something, Ellen?" Forge yells from the back.
Ellen shrugs and says, "Sure, Forge."
"Um...who was that boy from yesterday?"
"That, sad to say, was my little brother, Alan. He's only 10 and very crazy..."
"Wouldn't he have been drunk if he drank spiked Pepsi?"
"Well...he was when I got home. First, he gets hyper and a bunch crazier. Then he gets to acting like a drunk...Is Amara in her dress yet?"
"Yeah, and I can't breathe," Amara says.
"Well let's get started then!"
Gambit, smirking at Rogue, is on a sinking fishing boat. Jolly Mind, the boat's name, is painted on the side. He's standing atop the yardarm. He suddenly notices the ship is sinking and jumps, first to the rigging, and then to the hull with a splash. He grabs a pail and starts bailing the water.
He looks up and sees three skeletons hanging from nooses. On closer inspection, the skeletons are that of pirates who closely resemble Facade, Kelly, and .
Remy stands up, takes his hat off, and holds it over his heart.
Near the skeletons is a sign that reads, "Pirates, be ye warned."
As he nears the port, extras are busy loading goats onto a merchant vessel. They all stop to look as Remy is standing on the lookout, sailing past them. The only thing that is visible now is the boat's mast and part of the sail. As the sail completely disappears, he steps onto the dock and starts to walk off. He is stopped by Beast and Jamie.
Beast is carrying a ledger. "What, Hey! Hold up there, you!" he calls. Remy stops and twirls back to face him. Beast and Jamie walk over to him. "It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock."
Remy looks at him as if he'd lost his mind and then back at the boat, barely sticking up out of the water.
"And I shall need to know your name." Beast continues.
Remy digs in his pockets and pulls out three coins. "What do you say to three shillings, and we forget the name?"
Jamie's eyes widen while Beast thinks for a second, before shutting the book and saying, "Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. Smith."
Remy steeples his fingers in a prayer symbol and continues on his way. Beast and Jamie turn around and go on down the dock. Remy sees a bag lying on what is obviously Beast's desk and picks it up. He jingles and pockets it.
Amara settles into her place as the scene changes to a fort where Pyro's ceremony is taking place.
She stands fanning herself and trying to breathe, as a bunch of extras, dressed as soldiers march down an aisle, beating drums.
For a brief moment, the scene changes back to Remy as he looks around at the docks. Then, it's back to the ceremony, where the drummers have been replaced by soldiers with bayonets.
Scott calls out, "Two paces march!"
The extras march two paces, creating another aisle between them for Pyro to walk down.
"Right about face!" Scott calls, and they all turn around. "Present arms!" and the extras, hold out their weapons in military style.
Pyro begins the slow, prideful march up the center, while Amara is fanning herself and concentrating only on trying to breathe.
Logan takes the sword out of the box and presents it to Pyro, who twirls it around and does a rather fancy show with it.
Meanwhile, Remy is walking, rather shakily, down a ramp to a dock. Under the higher dock are two guards, Bobby and Roberto. They catch sight of him and rush to stop him.
"This dock is off limits to civilians,"Roberto states.
"I'm awfully sorry, I didn't know," Remy says and then adds, "If I see one, I shall inform you immediately." He then tries to go around them, but they move in his way. So Remy tries a new approach, "There's some sorta high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, ay? How could it be two upstanding blokes such as yourselves did not merit an invitation." He looks at them rather disapprovingly, as if they were obviously not worthy of such things.
Roberto responds, "Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians."
"It's a fine goal, to be sure." He starts walking in the other direction, trying to get past them, but they block his way again. "But it seems to me, that a, a ship like that–" he points to the Dauntless, "makes this one here a bit superfluous, really. ...What's that mean?"
Ellen answers, "It means more than necessary or not essential."
Remy smiles.
Rob replies, "The Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough, but there's no ship as can match the Interceptor for speed."
Remy pretends to think. "I've heard of one. It's supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: the Black Pearl."
Rob smiles, but Bobby starts laughing. "Well, there's no real ship that can match the Interceptor."
Rob looks at him stupidly. "Black Pearl is a real ship."
Bobby looks at him and then back at Remy, shaking his head, "No. No, it's not."
Rob, still looking at Bobby says, "Yes, it is. I've seen it."
Bobby looks back at him. "You've seen it?"
"Yes."
"You haven't seen it."
"Yes, I have."
Remy is rolling his eyes now, as Bobby questions Rob, "You seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?"
"No," Rob admits.
"No," Bobby agrees, turning back to Remy.
"But I have seen a ship with black sails," Rob says insisting on continuing the ridiculous argument.
"Oh," Bobby says, turning back to Rob. "and no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you're saying?"
During this last bit of speech by Bobby, Remy has snuck away.
Rob nods with a big grin, "No."
"Like I said, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor," he then turns to look at Remy, only he isn't there. He's at the helm of the Interceptor.
"Hey! You!" they shout.
"Get away from there!" Rob orders.
"You don't have permission to be there!" Bobby states.
"I'm sorry. It's such a pretty boat. . . ship," Remy corrects
"What's your name?" Rob asks.
"Smith, or Smithy, if you like," answers Remy.
"What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr Smith?" Bobby says, letting down his gun and showing that he doesn't believe Remy's name is Mr. Smith.
"Yeah, and no lies!" Rob insists.
"Well, the, I confess," Remy says. "It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, and plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out."
"I said no lies," Rob says.
"I think he's telling the truth," Bobby says.
"If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us," argues Rob.
Remy says, "Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you." Rob looks incredulously at him as he tries to comprehend this statement.
Meanwhile, Pyro's ceremony has come to an end. All the people are standing around talking while music plays.
Pyro comes up to Amara, "May I have a moment, Sheila?"
Amara rolls her eyes, but follows him out to a balcony. She stands next to an arch to support herself as the dress is really making it hard to breathe.
"You look lovely, Amara," Pyro says truthfully.
Amara nods painfully, still fanning herself.
John ignores the pained look on her face and looks out to sea, "I apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved: A marriage to a fine woman," he says with a sharp look at her face. She's still not looking at him, but concentrating only on trying to breathe. "You have become a fine woman, Amara." He glances nervously at Wanda, who's smiling seeing his discomfort.
Rogue looks at him and then back at the sea. "I can't breathe."
"Yes, I'm a bit nervous, myself."
But Amara has reached her limit and falls unconscious into the sea. Special effects, of course.
Remy is still talking to the guards, Bobby and Rob. "And then they made me their chief," he's saying as Amara falls past into the water near them.
At the splash they turn their heads. Pyro also looks around, and not seeing her, says, "Amara?" Then, he looks down and sees the splash in the water. "Amara!" He starts taking his coat off in order to jump in after her.
Juggernaut and Mesmero run up to him and hold him back. "The rocks!" Cain shouts.
"Sir, it's a miracle she missed them," Mesmero states.
As Amara floats further down into the water, Remy, Bobby, and Roberto watch her. Remy asks Bobby, "Will you be saving her, then?"
"I can't swim," Bobby lies.
He looks at Roberto, who shakes his head. "Pride of the King's Navy, you guys are." He takes off his jacket, sword, gun and holster, and his hat and hands them to Bobby and Rob. "Do not lose these." Then, he jumps into the water.
As Amara hits the bottom, the necklace rises out of her dress and a wave blasts through the water in all directions.
Rob asks, "What was that?"
Bobby just shakes his head. A wind blows, making them really nervous.
The flags blow violently, the skeletons knock into each other.
Remy reaches Amara and pulls her to the surface. He takes a breath, but is sucked back under. He tears the heavy dress off of her and is able to swim her limp body to the surface.
"Make way!" an extra calls as Pyro, Juggernaut, and Mesmero run by, followed by Logan. A bunch of others come running.
Remy reaches the dock and Bobby helps pull her onto the dock, "I've got her! She's not breathing!"
"Move," Remy orders, pushing Bobby and Roberto out of the way. He takes a knife and cuts the strings of her corset. Immediately, Amara coughs up the water and starts breathing.
Sam just stares and retains himself from running up to Amara.
Pyro has tossed the corset into Rob's hands.
Bobby looks at her in awe of Remy's intelligence, "I never would've thought of that. . ."
"Of course you wouldn't. Clearly, you've never been ta Singapore. . ." Remy states.
Ellen clears her throat and says, "Remy, we all know Bobby isn't the smartest person on the Earth. You don't have to point it out. Get back to the script."
He notices the necklace she's wearing and picks it up. "Where did you get that?" he asks.
Before she has time to answer, the soldiers arrive.
John orders, "On your feet!" The brand new sword staring Remy in the face. All the other soldiers also have bayonets pointed in Remy's direction.
He stands up and Logan rushes over to Amara, "Amara!" He helps her up. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answers, very glad to be out of the constricting dress. She is wearing old fashioned underwear that consists of an undershirt and bloomers, so she is covered.
Logan covers her with his coat and glares menacingly at Rob, who is still holding the corset. Rob suddenly realizes he's still holding it and hides it behind his back nervously. He points at Remy. Logan's glare turns to the Cajun. "Shoot him!" he orders, without the least hesitation.
"Papa." Amara groans.
"What?"
Amara turns to Pyro with her plea, "Commodore, do you really intend ta kill my rescuer?"
He looks at Amara, then Logan and nods. The swords go down. Remy makes a praying hands sign to say thank you to Amara.
"I believe thanks are in order, mate," Pyro says, extending his hand.
Remy warily shakes Pyro's hand. Pyro grabs on and pulls up his sleeve. On Remy's arm are two tattoos. Technically, they're the washable kind. One is a P and the other is a playing card.
John focuses first on the P. "Had a brush with the East India Company, did we, pirate?"
A pained look crosses Gambit's face and quickly fades.
"Hang him," Logan orders.
"Keep you guns on him, men. Marko, fetch some irons." Then, John notices the other tattoo. "Well, well. Remy LeBeau, isn't it?"
"Captain Remy LeBeau, if you please, sir." Gambit corrects him.
"Well," Pyro says arrogantly, "I don't see your ship, Captain."
"I'm in the market, as it were," Remy explains.
"He said he'd come to commandeer one," Rob says.
Bobby, having to have the last word, "Told you he was telling the truth." Here, he sticks out his tongue. Then, he turns to John. "These are his, sir." He bends down and picks up all of the equipment Remy removed before jumping into the water.
First, Pyro takes the gun and looks it over, "No additional shot nor powder." Then he picks up a compass. "A compass that doesn't point North. . ." He pulls out the sword that glimmers in the sunlight, "And I half expected it to be made of wood." Remy just grins sheepishly after each item is described. "You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
Gambit holds up two fingers. "But you have heard of me."
John gets really angry and grabs his arm and drags him over to Cain to be shackled.
Amara takes off after him, "Commodore, I really must protest!"
"Carefully, Lieutenant," John calls out.
"Pirate or not," Amara argues, "this man saved my life!"
"One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness."
"Though it seems enough to condemn him," Remy says.
"Indeed," John spits out.
About then, Juggernaut is done placing the shackles on Remy. Amara is standing between Pyro and Remy with her back facing Gambit. "Finally," he says, and he grabs her, placing the chain between his irons around her neck. She gasps in surprise.
"Well. At least Sam isn't as defensive as Remy would be," Ray said looking at Sam calmly standing there.
"That's because he ain't a Swamp Rat," Rogue points out, glaring at Remy.
"No!" Xavier calls. "No! Don't shoot!"
"I knew you'd warm up ta me," Remy says to him. "Commodore Allerdyce, my effects, please. And my hat."
Pyro stands there while Logan looks at him.
"Commodore," Remy says threateningly.
Glaring, John turns to Bobby and grabs the pile. The soldiers put their bayonets down.
"It is Amara, is it?" Remy asks Amara.
"It's Miss Howlett," she growls.
"Miss Howlett, if you would be so kind," he asks in a way, that doesn't sound like he's asking, but demanding her to take his stuff from John. "Come, come. We don't have all day."
She takes the stuff, and he grabs his gun and points it at her head. She turns around. "Now if you'll be very kind."
She places his hat on his head, his holster around his waist and his sheath around his chest. All the while, Remy is smiling arrogantly at John and Logan. Logan turns his head away and John rolls his eyes. "Easy on the goods," he tells her.
"You're despicable," she growls at him in perfect imitation of Logan.
"Sticks and stone, love. I saved your life. You save mine. We're square." At this point, he turns Amara back around and addresses the crowd. "Gentlemen, milady, you will always remember this as the day you almost captured Captain Remy LeBeau." And here, he pushes Amara into the crowd, grabs a rope, kicks a lever and the rope sends him soaring up into the air.
The rope happens to be attached to a cannon the falls straight down and into the pier, knocking a hole through the boards. Bobby and Rob, being the closest to the hole, fall straight through it. The pulley that the cannon and rope are attached to starts to spin. Remy gets a little worried and a little nauseous. "Whoa!"
"Now will you shoot him?" Logan growls.
"Open fire!" John shouts out. The bayonets sound off as he keeps spinning.
"Hey!" Remy screams at them. He finally is able to reach the next pulley system.
"On his heels!" Pyro orders. The soldiers take off after him.
Gambit is able to wrap his irons around a rope that leads him down to the dock. He takes off at a run, dodging bullet fire, over a bridge.
Another random extra calls out, "Take cover, man!"
John says to Juggernaut, ", Mr LeBeau has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it."
"Cut!" Ellen and Ray yell.
"Well...at least they didn't complain that much today... " Ray says.
"Yeah," she says, and looks over to Sam who was twitching every few moments.
Ray and Ellen walk over to Sam, and Ray asks, "Uh, Sam, what's wrong with you?"
"The scene that's soon to come..." he responds.
"Oh..."
"If it makes ya feel any better, at least it won't be Jean," Ellen puts a hand on Sam's shoulder.
"Yeah..it does..kinda..." Sam begins to relax.
"Bye guys. Gotta go home now," Ellen waves and walks off.
(I have a lot of time on my hands...too much if you ask me..So I'll be updating quite often...Probably every couple days...)
So did ya like it? Please tell me in your reviews! Bye bye now! (Sounds retarted, yes I know)
